Shopping Trip from BEEEEEP

I will try to leave out as many explicits as possible because there were a lot of them today, sorry still working on that one;)

I had to do some last minuet shopping for Christmas so I got all 3 kiddos saddled up and out the door. 1st store went OK, only one potty break and had to make two bottles for the twins, no prob. 2nd store wasn't so nice to me, and of course it was Wal Mart.

I get everyone out of the car and into my two shopping carts and we were off. Got the 1st few things of my list and my only problem was that Jack was running around so I buckled him in the cart. Then Jack said he needed to go potty again. I thought that he was being the sneaky little man that he can be and was just trying to get out of being buckled into the seat. So I said that we weren't going back and that if he needed to pee he had to hold it. Well at this point he was holding "It" so I knew he REALLY needed to pee. So we went back to the potty.

Once inside I undid his pants and belt and sent him off to go potty. I then decided that I should address my second and third problem, London and Dane. They were SCREAMING! I could smell that one of them was poopy so I went to Dane 1st, yep we had a winner. I took him out of his seat and there was POO EVERYWHERE!!!!! I mean from his upper back all the way down to his thighs. FYI I had just washed out both of their car seats, they were sparkling like new. I started to undo his pants and take off his diaper and of course I got poo on me, not just on my hand but on my New, Beautiful, Wonderful, WHITE Patagonia Jacket. I know I was asking for it, who buys a white jacket when they have 3 kids? That's right folks this special spirit right here and it was all over my sleeve. Dane was now in hysterics, gnashing off teeth mode so I proceeded to change his bum. Poor little man had the sorest bum ever, like he was bleeding. I had already changed his diaper 3 times at this point so I thought he would be fine, boy was I wrong.

While changing his bum I look around to see what Jack was up to. No worries folks he was just walking around with his pants and underwear around his ankles, his little bum free as a bird, playing in the soap and flushing every toilet in the bathroom. People were staring at us with "That Look" and not even stopping to help. Come on people, couldn't they see that I was about to loose it any minuet. Oh I forgot to mention that London is still SCREAMING.

I finish up with Dane, put him back in his nasty cloths, back in his nasty seat and look around for Jack again. Jack still had his pants around his ankles and was playing with the hand dryer thing. I quickly pulled up his pants and buckled him back into his seat, while he yelled, "No mom, not back in the buckle, don't beat me." I was really getting stares now so I wanted to get out of there ASAP. I went over to London and tried to see what her problem was. I smelt her bum and she was poopy too, I mean can a women get a break. I couldn't go through all of that again at Wal Mart so we headed to the check out line. Al this point I was D.O.N.E, DONE!

Of course all the lines are way backed up and I get behind a retard that doesn't happen to notice that I have 3 SCREAMING children and he just putts along taking his sweet old time. I pictured myself pouncing on him like a Lion would a zebra, I wanted him dead. As I wait for the moron I looked over at the magazines and saw one with the title, "101 ways to look stylish." I think to myself, "Look stylish, are you serious? Who in the hell cares about looking stylish. I just want to get home for the love of Pete without killing or beheading someone." The cash register women for sure thought I was evil and I deserved it. I glared at her (she was lucky she didn't get more than that, I was thinking some really awful things I wanted to say to her)for not putting all my stuff in bags, but isn't that her job. She was Moron #2 of the day.

We made it home, we survived. After changing London and then Dane again I laid on the floor and actually fell asleep, it was only for about 2 min but it was a glorious 2 min. The lesson I learned on my shopping trip today was................................... I guess I didn't really lean anything except that shopping can really suck sometimes!

8 months

DANE

Little monster weighs 23 1/2 lb.
31 Inches Long

I call Dane my side kick because he literally kicks it on his side. Because he isn't sitting up yet he spends his time on his side, so cute.
Dane is a snuggler, can't get enough of his yummy cheeks and he lets me kiss him as much as I want:)!!!

Danes two bottom teeth came in two night ago, poor guy.

Gets on all four once in a while, doesn't spend too much time there. Can't blame the little chunk, that's a lot of weight to support;)

When Dane smiles it's not just his mouth, it's his whole face. It's so sweet that for sure it would even make the Grinch smile:)

Rolls everywhere. He will roll over to London and steel her toy or pull the flower off her head or just stare at her. I can tell that these two are going to be good Friends.

Mr. Dane talks all the time.

Can't imagine what this life would be without my SWEET little Dane!

LONDON

London is 18lb.
27in. long
London got her 1st bottom tooth about a week ago and is working on her second bottom tooth right now.

Doesn't say much but when she does it's very loud. London basically screams when she is happy.

When London cries she rolls her tong like she is ready to start speaking in tongs, it's quiet and very sad.

You can tell that London is a thinker, she look around at things with wide eyes and is always taking in her surroundings.

Poor girl still has no hair, well very little hair.

When Riley and Jack play and they are being silly and screaming she will scream along with them. It's like she feels like she needs to be a part of it.

Since she got her 1st tooth she always is feeling it with her tong.

When her daddy walks in the room her face lights up and she starts to kick her little feet.

London is ready to crawl. She is on all four rocking back and forth all the time.

This little girl is so wonderful, I really can't get enough of her sweet little spirit and her yummy dimples.

These two are such GOOD babies, I really am so lucky. I think two good babies has got to be better than one really bad baby. We are so lucky to have them!

JACK

Is up to his old tricks and I'm loving it. Jack is into being a super hero and he is always rescuing anyone who stands in need. His little brother and sister get saved on a regular basis. Whenever there is something that they could choke on he takes it away and brings it to us. He really has saved them more than once. I couldn't have asked for a better big brother for the twins, he hasn't had a jealous moment yet. He says to the babies, "Dane, London you never put toys in your mouth cause it dangerous." He talks to them like they really know what he is saying.

This Christmas has been so much fun because Jack gets it and he is so excited about Santa.

Jack has a few pairs of gwubs (gloves) and he wears them everywhere. In the pic of him, London and Dane you will see that he is wearing them. Doesn't matter if we can only find one he will still wear it. He looks like Michael Jackson a lot of the time.

Jack is a very ACTIVE little boy. When we go to the store people will say, You sure have your hands full, your little boy has a lot of energy." That was the nice way of them saying, "That little man is CRAZY!" Jack is a really good little boy but he is definitely his age. I don't know what people are talking about terrible twos, the twos were a breeze, it's the threes that are killer.

All in all me and Riley can't seam to get enough of this little man. Last night Riley and I were going to bed and we stopped and stared at Jack, (he sleeps on the floor of our bedroom because the other two wake him up if they are in his room, vise versa) We almost woke him us so we could just hold him and kiss him and tell him how much we LOVE him. Jack is WONDERFUL!!!

Sorry about the long post but I needed to get all of this down. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

Success

Tonight was my 1st Teensy Tent Party and it was a Success!!! THANK YOU Cristina for being such a great hostess! I know that you are all probably sick of hearing about my Teensy Tent crap but but what can I say, I'm having so much fun with it;) And just for your information I don't just sell Teensy Tents at these parties. I also sell these little lovelies too!!!!!! I LOVE them!!!

This is my Girlie Onezie (is that how you spell that) with ruffles on the bum, so CUTE!

I LOVE feathers and flowers in the hair so I started making these little friends. I can't tell you how much I ADORE them! I have Red and Tan ones.

You can look like you actually got ready when you didn't even put any time into it at all, LOVE it!

A little pair of Mokeeys for little boys, i just love corduroy:)

And these little lovelies are so CUTE on London's feet and they clean up so well.

SO if you would like to throw a little party then let me know or if you would just like to buy one of these lovely friends then let me know:) Or if your the crafty type then I'll give you the secrets and know how.

Eat Babies Eat!!!

Could they be any cutter? This is what I was able to witness today and it make my heart pitter patter. They are getting so big and so independent. They don't sit up on their own yet, they don't crawl, but you better believe that they can hold their own bottle. The know what's up and they have their priorities. Just Love them!!!

The little sucking noise that they are making is SO SWEET!! They act like they are starving but as you can see the twins probably eat too much, especially Dane.

Flawed #2

We are driving in the car and a women pulls out in front of me and I say, “S***.” I think nothing of it and go along driving and it happens again, I slam on my breaks,(probably putting a binky back in a crying mouth) this time I say nothing so Jack picks up my slack. “Oh Ship mommy,” that’s right folks he said my word of shame that I love so much. I of course turn this around and say, “Yep a big old boat, do you see a big boat Jack?” Needless to say this has happened a few times since.

Jack was hammering with his little boy hammer and all the sudden threw his hammer and said, “D W/an it.” Riley and I looked at each other and had to look away because we were laughing our heads off, he said it so cute and with such gust. After I regained mt composure I then said to Jack, “ Yep, a big wall that holds a lot of water. Do you want to draw a picture of a damn?” Well he still says it all the time.


Flaw #2, I truly do love a few swearwords here and there. I think it’s nasty if they are always being said but a few once and a while is so funny. I know it’s so sad but it’s my one sin that I think is so hilarious. A perfectly positioned swearword can be difference between boring and flat to ridiculously funny. I have watched a cute little mom walking with her 4 kids as they were crying and yelling and being naughty and I thought, “All she needs is a good swearword, I think she may feel better.”

So there you have it, I really enjoy swearing once and a while. But now that I have little people who somehow hear EVERYTHING I now know I must do better. I am being forced into caring. I really don’t want Jack to go to Primary teaching all the other kids his special word.

Throw A Party

If you would like to throw a Teensy Tent Party and earn some credit to get some product for FREE that would be great. I will also be selling MOKEEY SHOES at these parties:) When I do parties the prices are lower because I can do a lot at once. If your interested let me know and we can do it before Christmas so that people can have them in time for Christmas gifts. Thanks Ladies:)

Sisters

Sister (my definition): One who loves you when there is nothing to love. One who forgives you when there is no reason to forgive. One who tells you the painful truth when you don’t want to hear it. One who lifts you up when you fall flat on your face. And one who claims you as theirs even after an extremely loud snort;)

For some reason I was given 5 of these amazing sisters and then 7 more sister in laws on top of that. I must need all of you.

This weekend I had a “girl’s getaway” with some of my sisters and my amazing Mother. On this trip I leaned more than I thought possible. Through watching, talking, sharing and of course fighting my relationship with these amazing sisters was strengthened, my self confidence was strengthened and my testimony of my Savior Jesus Christ was strengthened.

If you know my family you know that we are not ones to let “feelings” get in the way of communication. We will tell each other what issues we are having with each no matter how hard it is to say. Yes it may start out in frustration but it never ends this way! In the end we always come to two conclusions. 1st the problem was never really theirs, it was always our own regardless if they are in the wrong because we have the power to be offended or not be offended. Second we find out that we LOVE each other more than we did in the first place; we know this because we end up in each others arms crying and saying how much we adore and appreciate one other, (the headaches are so painful;)

Call me crazy but I call this HEALTHY:) The things I learn about myself, others and my Heavenly Father are unreal!!! So THANK YOU sisters for this never ending, painful, wonderful, fun, laughing till my gut hurt weekend; it was just what the doctor ordered;) I love you and I NEED you in my life more than even I knew. I guess that’s why the Lord gave you to me, he knew you were going to be the examples that I needed to come closer to him. I love you!!!

While I was gone I had some of my other sisters and mother in law holding the fort down for me, THANK YOU!!!!!! How lucky can one girl be?:)

Pictures to come, I left my camera in my moms car.
